EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic map print, titled "General Map of Orel Province: Showing Postal and Major Roads, Stations and the Distance in Versts between Them," was created in 1822 by Colonel Vasilii Petrovich Piadyshev and Finaghenof. The map is part of a larger work, "Geograficheskii atlas Rossiiskoi imperii, tsarstva Pol'skogo i velikogo kniazhestva Finliandskogo" (Geographical atlas of the Russian Empire, the Kingdom of Poland, and the Grand Duchy of Finland), which contained 60 maps of the Russian Empire. The map of Orel Province offers a detailed view of the region during the first quarter of the 19th century. It reflects the meticulous mapping efforts carried out by Russian military cartographers. The map includes various features such as population centers (indicated by six gradations based on size), postal stations, roads (distinguished by four types), provincial and district borders, monasteries, factories, and inns. Distances between locations are shown in versts, a Russian measure now obsolete, equivalent to approximately 1.07 kilometers. The map's legends and place-names are written in both Russian and French, reflecting the international influence of the time. The map's meticulous detail and comprehensive coverage make it an invaluable resource for researchers and historians studying the region during this period. The map's creators, Colonel Vasilii Petrovich Piadyshev and Finaghenof, were skilled cartographers who played a crucial role in documenting and mapping the Russian Empire during this era.
